The space
Welcome to The Red House, your secluded escape nestled amidst a serene forest, offering ultimate privacy without sacrificing convenience. While completely tucked away, you're just a short drive from charming local towns. Chatham is a quick 12-minute drive, and West Stockbridge is just 14 minutes away, offering delightful dining, shopping, and attractions. Our closest neighbor is about a 10-minute walk, ensuring your peace and quiet.

The Red House comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests across three private bedrooms and a cozy loft. The main bedrooms include two with comfortable double beds and one with a single bed. For an extra touch of coziness, the attic loft features a comfortable floor mattress, perfect for additional sleeping or a private retreat (this space does not have a door). Relax and unwind in our downstairs TV room, complete with a comfortable couch, or enjoy the natural light in the sunroom, which also offers an additional couch. Families traveling with little ones will appreciate the convenience of a pack and play, available for your use.

On cooler evenings, gather around the inviting wood stove. It effectively helps to want the house, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere for memorable winter nights.

Please note: The Red House is accessed via an old dirt mountain road surrounded by forest.

******For winter visits, all-wheel-drive vehicles and/or snow tires are highly recommended to ensure easy access.******

Neighbourhood highlights

The trees and deer make great neighbors! You will have complete privacy. The closest neighbors are about 1/4 mile away.

The Red House is located very close to the Massachusetts border and is a great place to stay to enjoy the many ski slopes in the area. It's close to Ski Butternut, Jiminy Peak, Bosquet, Catamount Ski Area and Otis Ridge.

If visiting in winter or spring, snow tires or a 4x4 vehicle is recommended as the area gets a lot of snow and there are dirt roads leading up to the house. Heavy rain can lead to muddy roads.

You will have complete privacy.
There are many great hiking trails in conservation areas close by. For swimming head on over to Fox Hill campground lake in nearby Spencertown. (may be closed due to covid). There is a lovely little beach.
There is also a swimming beach in West Stockbridge at Card Pond.
